This Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac with Clean Surge is my first steam cleaner. At first, I contemplated replacing my carpet, 14 years old. I realized I could bought a steam cleaner for less than the cost to have my carpets done professionally. Why not try? After reviewing a variety of brands and models I settled on the Hoover F5914-900 SteamVac because I liked the idea of the Clean Surge and found more favorable reviews than some other popular brands and models. Plus, on Amazon, the cost was substantially less than any discount store, and free shipping! I must admit that I went over every inch of carpeting in my home 4+ times, but it was well worth it and it needed it. No other professional cleaning service ever spent that much time or did anywhere near the quality that I got out of this machine. I thought the edger comes quite close to the edges of the room and did a fine job getting into the corners. Even after going over some worn areas many times, applying several layers of water, the suction was strong enough that the carpet was dry in the morning (I finished around 9:00 PM). My carpet looks very good with 14 years of wear. Though the water tank holds only a gallon, and it was a pain to have to stop, empty and refill frequently, it went farther than one would think. When the unit arrived, assembling the cleaner took only a little time, but no experience or expert skills using tools was necessary. But, be careful. Unit and parts are plastic, yuk. The generous electrical cord is long enough to cross any of my standard or slightly oversized rooms. Would recommend this to anyone, though I have no other with which to compare.
